1% PURE

1% Pure is an electronic dance music collaboration between Laura Lockie and Ken Lockie. The music is Techno, Tech-House with some retro Indie Dance variations on the track ‘Tell Me’. Classic analog synthesizer sounds, looped vocal phrases and swirling bass tones power these songs along. Laura provides lead vocals, Ken playing an occasional tenor saxophone. So what does the name signify? The idea for 1% pure came with the economic crash of 2008 where the rhetoric of the day called out the 99% who were suffering from the actions of the Banks. Somehow, the concentration of resources and energy gave way to the notion of 1% pure as an artistic entity, a thing by itself, a concentration, comprised of just two people. The music reflects that concentration, distilling the essentials from Techno, Tech-House and Indie Dance. You have to hear it to appreciate this art.

ROBESPIERRE

Robespierre is a musical collaboration between Chaka Franklin and Ken Lockie. The music they’ve created combines Deep House and Soul groove. Chaka first met Ken during the recording of an RnB groove song, I’m 2 Good 4 U where he engineered the vocal recording session. The song Be the One was created around some searing wavetable synthesizer sounds and Chaka’s vocal performance. Lyrics in the Deep House song Don’t Think About It tell us about personal betrayal and an emotional response to the social injustice in our world today. As a combination, Robespierre is unique, mixing cultural references to French Revolutionaries, southern USA Soul, Hip Hop, digital sound design and synthesis, and modern beat music all munged together, 21st Century style for your listening pleasure.

KEN LOCKIE

Ken's apprenticeship into audio recording began with a borrowed Revox-Studer B77 two-track tape recorder. Hitting the record button to capture sound and then mix it into other tracks became a necessity, an art he cultivated and had some talent for. Sounds, song structures, vocals, and lyrics were all enabled possibilities in the musical palette he explored in his first band, Cowboys International and subsequent recordings with Public Image Limited, Simple Minds, Dominatrix, and others. A multi-instrumentalist, he described his approach in early interviews as that of a Soundician, where music and technology are merged in the creation of recorded works. An avid synthesizer of sound and sequence programmer Ken's recorded works have evolved from traditional band combinations to collaborations with just one or two others, due, primarily to technology. Most recently, Ken has been involved in every aspect of pNUMA RECORDINGS releases, from writing and performance to production and engineering. Works featured here as Ken Lockie recordings are Minimal-Tech creations. Of all the genres, Minimal-Tech is one of his favorites, followed by Techno and then other House music variants, Deep-House, Progressive, and Tech-House. No Trance offerings yet, but the additional musical elements of Trance make it an appealing option. Coming soon, perhaps.
